This made my day ๐
Basically! I still haven't found equivalents for everything I was following on Reddit since my account there is 13 years old, but I have found more than I expected. Just since late June when I started lurking here it seems to have grown significantly. I suspect there's a higher proportion of longtime Redditors who have left recently since we've seen it abandon the principles it was founded on.
I already did, during the blackout. I honestly didn't have much hope for things to improve or roll back. Also, in the last month I've seen the communities grow a lot, so I don't miss reddit that much.
So far am trying too. I usully get most of my news from reddit during normal use. Would normally browse by Hot on R/all and first few posts were typically "important" news articles. Don't really see the same amount of posts here. Maybe will pick up during election season or will have to break down and find a more dedicated news server.
I'm bouncing around Reddit and Lemmy. Won't be contributing much to Reddit anymore and will be posting and commenting on Lemmy.
Iโm pretty close. I still check a few smaller Reddit communities but only when Iโm on my pc in the browser. Almost all interacting (posting and comments) is on Lemmy now.
I want to! But there is a lot missing that I miss about reddit that isn't active here like squared circle and anime. I think it will take a while for most of that to build up here but it is solely missed but I don't want to use reddit anymore due to their terrible practices.
I am, here's the proof:
me with lenny
Absolutely.
I refuse to go on Reddit, it sucks because it takes way longer to find the answers I search for.
Gock.
Lemmy at home, reddit at work. Lemmy has WAY too much porn on the main page for work...
I would've done that a while ago if not for the left wingers populating all those communities. But, at least i tolerate left wingers better than right wingers.
I already did ๐
